Hi,
I want to test Open-CV with Open-CL on Odroid-xu with Android OS.
The GPU inside the Odroid-xu board is powerVR 544.
Does it support for Open-CV with Open-CL applications ?
when i run Open-CV with Open-CL tests, getting the following info.
I have done the following procedure to compile the Open-CV SDK,
I have installed SDK, NDK, and other required softwares on host system by following the ODROID-XUOpenCL.QuickStartGuide.1.0.6.External.pdf given by imagination, next i have compiled opencv for android from the trunk, the steps i have followed are
1)cmake:
cd opencv/platforms
sh ./scripts/cmake_android_arm.sh
2)compiling:
cd build_android_arm
make -j8
3)python test script:
cd opencv
mkdir -p logs
python modules/ts/misc/run.py platforms/build_android_arm -w ./logs

Why i am getting COMPUTE_UNITS = 1 and Max work group size = 1 which causes for an assertion (in the above) ?
I am getting localThreads[0] as 256 which is greater than ctx->getDeviceInfo().maxWorkItemSizes[0] = 1, So getting exception.
Open-CV people saying that ,
Your device supports OpenCL 1.1 EP (Embedded Profile). And EP can bring some restrictions with to compare to full OpenCL profile and as a result these problems with assertions can be.OpenCV-CL developers have not tested OpenCL on such devices, so we don’t officially support EP. It would be great to see some statistics of your device which can be retrieved using clinfo command line utility.
Please provide any tool which displays the device info( like AMD clinfo utility which prints the total opencl device info)
Please suggest me to resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Does it support for Open-CV with Open-CL applications ?
We haven't tried using OpenCV on this platform.
Why i am getting COMPUTE_UNITS = 1 and Max work group size = 1 which causes for an assertion (in the above) ?
The Series5XT hardware was primarily designed for graphics processing. Compute was exposed later, but the features are somewhat restricted as the hardware was not designed with compute in mind. One of the restrictions is the maximum workgroup size of 1.
Series6 and newer families of PowerVR have been designed for graphics and compute. They support larger workgroup sizes.
If OpenCV requires a workgroup larger than 1, you may not be able to get it working on the ODROID-XU.
Please provide any tool which displays the device info( like AMD clinfo utility which prints the total opencl device info)
We do not have a tool like this. I've found a project on GitHub that may be of interest though: https://github.com/Oblomov/clinfo

Hi Joe,
Thank you for prompt reply.
You are saying that Max work group size=1 is fixed with series5XT series GPUs. Means
1 ). OpenCL Demos which you have released with SDK are tested with COMPUTE_UNITS = 1 and Max work group size = 1 , right ?
2).Why we are getting COMPUTE_UNITS = 1, Does GPU has only one core ?
3).Is there any Odroid boards which supports Opencv with Opencl Full profile apps with Power VR series6 series GPU ?
Thanks & Regards,
Satish
1 ). OpenCL Demos which you have released with SDK are tested with COMPUTE_UNITS = 1 and Max work group size = 1 , right ?
Yes. The demos in the Series5XT OpenCL SDK are designed for the hardware's capabilities.
2).Why we are getting COMPUTE_UNITS = 1, Does GPU has only one core ?
From OpenCL's point of view, Series5XT GPUs only have one logical core. This is the case for all Series5XT configurations, e.g. SGX544MP1 vs. SGX544MP3.
3).Is there any Odroid boards which supports Opencv with Opencl Full profile apps with Power VR series6 series GPU ?
Currently, there are no ODROID devices with Series6 GPUs. The only Series6 platform I'm aware of exposing OpenCL is the Dell Venue 8.
Regards,
Joe
